I am confused with all this tpms stuff. Does it have to be activated thru vcds for it to work, or is this something different that you guys are talking about.

Don't worry, be confused or concerned. Since you are in the US, your car was fitted with TPMS from the factory because it is required by law in your country. For the rest of us in other countries, we have to retrofit it. In order for it to work, we have to enable it in the ABS module and the instrument cluster through VCDS. One can then choose to install the TPMS Set Switch or reset it manually with VCDS.

You already have it. Just press the TPMS Switch in your glovebox to reset it if it ever gets triggered.

Does anyone know what "Tire Pressure Monitoring via Instrument Cluster" does? It was not checked on my car (GLI), but the one time the TPMS went off I did receive a message in the MFD in addition to the light. I tried checking it, and the coding was accepted, but it made no visible difference in any of the MFD screens. Just curious....

1) Turn OFF door chime Located in 17- Instruments, Coding, Long Code Helper, Byte 0, Bit 4-7. You change the region to GB or UK (We didn't do this as we were unsure of consequences of region change)

as well as a few other mods, and they all worked perfectly, but I've come across one of the consequences. At a stop, trip is displayed normally, while moving it changes to current KPH. This would be less annoying as MPH, but even better if it didn't happen at all. Anyone know if it's changeable? Other than that, no more door chime, or seat belt chime and everything else is in Imperial Measures. I'll try to fiddle with it some more myself, but if anyone has some ideas, that'd be great.
Thanks, Jayson

I did the same thing on my GLI. After I changed the coding, everything was in KPH and the date/time format was screwed up.

I had to go into my MFD and manually change the settings from KPH to MPH and the clock back to 12h format. Check in your owners manual to see if there is a way for you to do this if you don't have the MFD.

I was able to change to 12 hour format in adaptation, and was lucky enough that it never changed to KPH on the speedometer. I'm thinking there is something I can do about my issue in instruments, but I think it will be easier when I put the right side steering wheel controls in.

the right side wheel controls won't do anything to help your situation. I know before i put mine on I pushed the left side button on the dash (the one that goes to your oil change interval) until the odometer was flashing (current mileage)then i pushed the right side button on the dash while the miles were flashing. After doing that kph showed where my current mileage was while driving. just repeat the steps to turn it off. Hope that helps.

Tried that it wouldn't work. Switched to RoW instead of GB and tried it again, and it worked perfect. Under instruments adjusted volume it still says liter, but works as factory without door chimes. Weird.

Thanks for the posts. . .I just brought home a new 2012 Sportwagon NON-Nav ,my local dealer was offering 0% financing on the TDI wagen's and they didnt have the 1 i wanted within a 250 mile radius.So i settled for the Premium packeage since it was the last day for 0%...I have Hex+Can and was looking to do a few mods...
